Thrifty Thursday: DIY Goodwill Lamp Makeover w/ Spraypaint & Vinyl

My daughter came to me a few weeks ago and asked if I had a lamps he could have for her room. I didn’t so I started looking and lamps are pricey! I knew I could easily do a lamp makeover with a lamp from Goodwill. I went on half off day and found a gold lamp for $3 and a lampshade for $2 bringing my grand total to only $5! All it took was a little cleaning and some spray paint (of course)

Here is the before and after of my Goodwill lamp:

Project: Goodwill Lamp Makeover w/ Spraypaint

Supplies:

Lamp w/ Lamp Shade

Spray Paint

Paper Bag

Vinyl Flower

Here is what I used

Lampshade:

Krylon Blue Ocean Breeze Spray Paint

Lamp:

Krylon Fusion Satin In Plum

Krylon Triple Thick Glaze

Directions:

Wipe away the lamp and shade from any dirt.

Cover the cord with a paper lunch bag, also stuff a piece of paper bag in the socket to prevent any paint inside there.

Spray the lamp with a coat, staying approx 8 inches back with a steady motion, allow to dry.

Repeat with the shade.

Once they are dry, spray a second coat and allow to dry.

Spray the lamp with a sealant or glaze to prevent chipping or marks.

For the embellishment, use a vinyl cut out and adhere it to the front of the shade.. I cut this one out on the Silhouette.
